First, whenever you first suspect or become aware of a termite presence, it’s important to address it as quickly as possible. Termites can eat on wood around the clock during any season, and you don’t want to give them any more of an opportunity to damage your home’s structure than what’s necessary. That said, Constant Protection works year-round. In warmer temperatures—which is a good majority of the year in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee—termites will forage further from their home base to find and eat the cellulose found in wood. During the colder temperatures of winter, though, termites are most likely to remain closer to their nests; when that’s in your home, they’ll be the most consistently in the areas where we’ll apply our termite treatment. 

At Waynes Pest Control, we don’t spray. We use a much more effective treatment: Constant Protection™. This termite treatment begins working the moment that one of our pest control professionals puts it into the ground. How? Certain types of termites within a colony are in charge of feeding the others, and this treatment contains a kind of bait that they actually prefer over wood. Once they feed on this bait, they can’t moult any more, and these termites die. Once they’re gone, there are no members of the colony able to feed the rest of them, and so they also die. So, when you contact us for Huntsville termite control or termite services in Birmingham, Nashville—or any of the other cities in our significant tri-state service areas—we’ll conduct a thorough termite inspection and then place Constant Protection™ stations ten feet apart around your home and in any other areas conducive to termite activity. Then, we’ll regularly check on them and replace them as needed. 

We’d have to refer again to what we use: Constant Protection™ technology. For more specifics about how it works, look at the main page or the answer to the FAQ of “How many times a year should you spray for termites?” For your free termite inspection and to get started with treatment, please fill out the form on this page, contact us online, or call 1-866-929-6371. Your home really should be your castle, and we’re here to make it termite free.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists termite treatments, which can include physical barriers installed during the home’s construction with certain sizes of steel mesh and sand having some effectiveness. They also note that, in laboratory settings, nematodes (roundworms) and fungi have shown some success. What you’re probably interested in, though, are types of termite control that pest control professionals can apply to get rid of termites. Those include termite bait, liquid termiticides applied to the soil, wood treatments, and when building materials are infused with termiticides. At Waynes, we use the highly effective Constant Protection™ technology, which is bait strategically placed into the ground. So, if you need termite control in Birmingham, Huntsville, Nashville, or any of our other service areas, let us know. We’re happy to get started with a free termite inspection.
